Infant-and-Toddler-Health Books

This is an excellent book. It goes into a great amount of detail on how to "baby proof" your home, particularly your kitchen and bathroom. All advice is explained simply and concisely, and drawings are included as well. The book also talks about child safety products a parent can buy and guidelines for purchasing infant items such as walkers, strollers, and toys. Information is also included about outdoor safety, holiday safety, and poison prevention. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned about child safety.

If you don't have much time to spend recording your baby's 'first time' milestones and need a place to put important photos and baby momentos, then this is the baby book keepsake for you! If you are like me, and could never find the time while caring for your newborn but wanted to have something in place to remember all the precious memories then this is an easy solution. Just fill in, glue in and place in envelope, as easy as 1-2-3.

This small child protection guide book answers a lingering call. In such a chaotic child protection service with its disjointed organisation and disparate proffesionals this guide provides much needed clarity. It's beauty lies in its brevity. For proffesionals uncertain of procedures or signs of abuse this guide is clear, erudite, accessible and comprehensive. Written by two practising professionals it has the added benefit of experience. For any health service workers this is a reference book that every person must have. And in wider society, anyone who cares for the well-being of children should read this book. It unravels some difficult signs of abuse and provides a clear course of action for any coming across an abused child. A much needed, welcomed and hopefully widely read book. Magisterial performance.

This is the most amazing tape! We had twins that were extremely colicky. If they wouldn't stop crying we put this tape in and within minutes they were quiet and fell asleep. It is a miracle cure for colic. We highly recommend this tape for all new parents!

Weaning...sheesh. Where to start? What type of food to introduce first? When to introduce the next new foods? When do move to finger foods? Table food? AHHH. I really found weaning intimidating with my little one, feeling that if I put a foot wrong, my little one would turn into a fussy eater. So this book was a HUGE help to me. Gina Ford lays out in her no nonsense manner a day to day approach to weaning, what foods to introduce, what time of day to fit in their solids, and how to do all this combined with milk feeds. She has great recipes for each stage, and I feel very much in control of my little ones diet and it is not a battle for her to eat :) perfect - I would highly recommend this book if you are a new mom and need a step by step approach to weaning.

Children who have lived with domestic violence in their home have experienced a traumatic event. Child-Parent Psychotherapy is the most effective practice to date that addresses child trauma as a result of witnessing domestic violence. The clinicians at our violence prevention organization use this book as a guide for their work with moms and kids who have recently left their abusers. It is very comprehensive and practical. I highly recommend integrating this manual into your own practice.

This open-ended journal is great because parents can journal thoughts to the child.

This book was a great find. As an educator and mother of special needs children this book is a valuable resource. I would recommend this to any professional or parent that deals with children with any mental health issue.

This is an excellent resource! A great blend of information weaved into a wonderful massage for babies. This book is well written, easy to understand, thought provoking and educational. The words are well spoken and the pictures speak volumes. If you work with or spend time with babies, this is a must read.
